ts had many compliments on the spaces as well as feeling spacious indoors in the summer. The church itself is stunning and my photographer was just elated to shoot there. Both venues had character and required minimal décor. Historic Pensacola is a fun, vintage, and spacious place to host your guests especially those from out of town.
